Quoted from the back of the COA -
"These knives commemorate the rifles that were used by U.S. forces in World War II. They are the M-1 Carbine, M-1 Garand and B.A.R. Rifle.
Winchester was a key factor in the development and production of these rifles. After the start of the war, Winchester brought production of all commercial products to a stand still and concentrated entirely on contracts for government requirements."
"This set is commemorating each of these rifles cast in full relief; the M-1 Carbine featuring cast bronze color handles; the M-1 Garand featuring copper handles; and the B.A.R. rifle featuring nickel silver handles. This set preserves the memory of our fellow soldiers that fought to win the war, the rifles that were used in the war, and also the high quality of the Winchester Trademark knives. These knives are 100% American made of the finest materials available."
Excellent condition.
